1. Make sure that all the packing materials

are removed from the inside of the door.

2. Check the oven for any damage, such

as misaligned or bent door, damaged

door seals and sealing surface, broken

or loose door hinges and latches and

dents inside the cavity or on the door. If

there is any damage, do not operate the

oven and contact qualified service

personnel.

3. This microwave oven must be placed on

a flat, stable surface to hold its weight

and the heaviest food likely to be cooked

in the oven.

4. Do not place the oven where heat,

moisture, or high humidity are generated,

or near combustible materials.

5. For correct operation, the oven must

have sufficient airflow. Allow 20cm of

space above the oven, 10cm at back

and 5cm at both sides. Do not cover or

block any openings on the appliance. Do

not remove feet.

8. The socket must be readily accessible

so that it can be easily unplugged in an

emergency.

9. Do not use the oven outdoors.

This appliance must be grounded. In the

event of an electrical short circuit, grounding

reduces risk of electric shock by providing an

escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING Improper use of the grounding

plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60

Hz, AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that

a separate circuit serving only the oven be

provided. The oven is equipped with a

3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged

into a wall receptacle that is properly installed

and grounded.

EXTENSION CORD

1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord,

use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a

3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot

receptacle that will accept the plug on the

microwave oven. The marked rating of the

extension cord shall be equal to or greater

than the electrical rating of the appliance, or

2. Do not use an extension cord. If the power

supply cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician or serviceman install an outlet

near the appliance.

Notes:

If you have any questions about the

grounding or electrical instructions, consult a

qualified electrician or service person.

Neither Sunbeam nor the dealer can accept

any liability for damage to the oven or

personal injury resulting from failure to

observe the electrical connection procedures.

1. Operation of the microwave oven can

cause interference to your radio, TV, or

similar equipment.

2. When there is interference, it may be

reduced or eliminated by taking the

following measures:

a. Clean door and sealing surface of

the oven.

b. Reorient the receiving antenna of

radio or television.

c. Relocate the microwave oven with

respect to the receiver.

d. Move the microwave oven away

from the receiver.

e. Plug the microwave oven into a

different outlet so that microwave oven

and receiver are on different branch

circuits.

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest

areas towards outside of dish.

2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the

shortest amount of time indicated and

add more as needed. Food severely

overcooked can smoke or ignite.

3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers

prevent spattering and help foods to

cook evenly.

4. Turn foods over once during

microwaving to speed cooking of such

foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large

items like roasts must be turned over at

least once.

5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs

halfway through cooking both from top to

bottom and from the center of the dish to

the outside.

1. The ideal material for a microwave

utensil is transparent to microwave, it

allows energy to pass through the

container and heat the food.

2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so

metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim

should not be used.

3. Do not use recycled paper products

when microwave cooking, as they may

contain small metal fragments which

may cause sparks and/or fires.

4. Round /oval dishes rather than

square/oblong ones are recommend, as

food in corners tends to overcook.

5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be

used to prevent overcooking of exposed

areas. But be careful don’t use too much

and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm)

between foil and cavity.

The list below is a general guide to help you

select the correct utensils.
